Andrea’s note: I had no idea there were so many cool budgeting extensions available for Chrome! I love Chrome (and I’m super excited that it’s available for iPhone and iPad now) so I’ll definitely be trying out a few of these! Do any of you use these extensions already? I’d love to know how you like them!

This is brilliant, I had no idea there were budget tools either, I thought it was just useful for Angry Birds! I'm going to go and take a look. Chrome is so far ahead of IE, and even Firefox too which used to be highly regarded, but there seems to be a lot of progression in browsers at the moment, being driven mostly by Chrome from what I can see.

I haven't heard of a few of these, that's quite interesting. It seems like the rate of change is increasing all the time. As for Chrome, I have started using it periodically, and might go that route as the default.
